Anyone who is apologist for or advocate of Communism sure as hell hasn’t ‘woke’ up.

The left is attempting to provoke a civil war in this country. Its clear that ANY conservative meeting will be viciously attacked and equally clear that we can't expect the local authorities to protect the rule of law.

This isn't about the KKK or Trump, this is about jackbooted thugs using violence and intimidation to shut down free speech and to silence anyone opposed to their marxist revolution.

The so-called leaders of the GOP are AWOL and in hiding.

This will not end well unless our elected representatives stand up for America's ancient God given rights. But I'm not expecting that.

While I’m against the removal of these statues of confederate generals, I’m okay with each municipality initiating a plebiscite and let each town or state decide. National monuments stay put! And in regards to our founding fathers memorials and statues, they stay! You want those removed you vote in dems. They will remove them all. Meanwhile while our side is in power, the national monuments stay put.

I agree this is about the constitution itself. All the more reason to vote against dems and the left.

you’re not raising Monticello or Mount Vernon to the ground.

Or razing them either.

Clintonistas told other nations not to look to our Constitution as a good example.

Let’s look at it from George Washington’s perspective.

Would he want his name associated with a country with a central government as all powerful and oppressive as ours, has a 40% out of wedlock birth rate, abortion on demand at any time, and gay marriage?

‘Native Americans had slaves’

internecine violence and oppression was a means of restoring the stock of a flagging tribe; typically, the men (and male children)would be killed in a raid, and the women and girls enslaved for cross fertilization...quite common, actually...

Trump was right; where does it end.

Trump brought up this very point because he knew the Dems would take the bite and their insane position would start to get air time.

I don't think this is a winning issue for the Dems.

Looks like it is about time to send the military to CNN et al. for arrests. Treason should not be put up with. These people are not Americans in any way.

How about FDR? He sent Jews back to the Nazis, and sent Americin citizens to concentration camps.

After we destroy all the memorials to FDR (and burn all the books about him), who should we replace his image on the dime with? Mr. Snuffleupagus?

That is what this is, they cannot take down the Constitution, yet, so they have substituted monuments of heroes to that concept. This is a full scale revolution, don't mistake that for a second. Commies have done this before. Look across at our supposed worse adversary, Russia. Note there used to be a Petrograd, Leningrad, Stalingrad and now back to St Petersberg.

Just think, just 50 years ago all they wanted was to be treated equally. Now they want to commit cultural genocide against anything “white”.

You have to wonder how this is going to end when they are just 11% of the population.

Unfortunately, we have things like Romney, McCain, Rubio, Dick Morris, all lining up to support antifa and Black Lies Matter, so who knows what the outcome will be.

Since Romney is such a pure soul he needs to go to Salt Lake City and Provo and demand taking down all statues of the black hating Joseph Smith.

A little off the wall thought. If a college fraternity can’t have taco night because of cultural appropriation then can’t white southern make the same argument about their statues? These statues represent part of their southern heritage. Aren’t these Antifa types appropriating their cultural by demanding the removal of the statues from parks in southern states? Just asking.

Do something useful and tear down CNN. That would be a good start.

>>Isn’t this what all of the really “bad” revolutions do - destroy history?
It’s interesting how these statues were fine for a couple of centuries, and now they are not.


Next they will be demanding the erradication of everyone over 30 as they permitted these transgressions to stand.

Students ate their teachers during Mao’s cultural revolt.

CNN was started by Ted Turner.

The Ted Turner of the Turner Broadcasting System.

You know, the one that loves Gone With The Wind and shows it every year.

Yes, all Turner operations support the Confederacy!

They must all be stopped!
